Become part of our Global Education Team!

The Cambridge Develoment Initiative (CDI) (http://cdi.soc.srcf.net/)is collaborating with Manzese Secondary School in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to improve education opportunities for local students. We are sending a number of volunteers this summer to teach an innovative summer school, using interactive teaching and peer-to-peer learning.

To compliment the work of our volunteers, we are creating learning materials as Open Educational Resources (OER). In order to use innovative software and make the content accessible to all students worlwide, we cooperate with Serlo, the free learning website (http://www.serlo.org/blog/article/serlo-2-announcement).

Working with our volunteers to design subject-specific materials, you will need creativity to make learning come to life.
